Just a little something I wanted to say.

Of all his creation, God gave man the choice to do his will or disobey. Man chose disobedience which brought death into the world. Ever since then, the devil has been leading man astray. But we cannot put all the blame on the devil because it is man's choice to listen to the devil. We Christians will always be temted, in fact the Bible it says we are to REJOICE in temptation. Just because we are tempted doesn't mean we have to fall for it, it's a test of our faith in God and self-control. If you aren't a Christian you are heading for destruction. Even if you are a Christian and grow lazy in your faith you are in danger of the same destruction that a non- Christian is in danger of. Don't believe the "once saved always saved" doctrine that they teach at some churches, God wants us to work in our faith to please him. Also if you were "saved" by the sinners prayer you are NOT saved at all. God wants our full obedience to his will, not just mumbling a little prayer and calling it good. To be saved you MUST be baptized, submerged under water (infant baptism doesn't count since the Bible says that you must repent of your sins and a baby can't repent because it doesn't understand what's going on anyway) confessing that Jesus is the son of God, repenting of your sins(that means understanding that you have sinned against God and will trust in Him to help you to resist temptation. All men are sinners and the only reason there's grace is because Jesus already paid the price with His blood and he was sinless. We know we are going to sin sometime in our lives, we must fight for self-control always and trusting in Jesus our Lord and Savior to lend us His strength for without it we CANNOT resist temptation. But we aren't to sin and then ask forgiveness then turn around and sin again. As the Bible says, we are not to "Sin that grace may abound". When we ask forgiveness it must be with a repentant spirit. That's just something I wanted to say where I'm contributing, at least a little, to my own page.
